I haven't grasped the names of the Ages yet. Is that the "Islands in the
Water" Age, or the "Just a long corrdor" Age or the "Big round room with a
clock thingy in it" Age?

The age with the train and the big factory is called Er'cana (the
industrial age). The island in the water is Ahnonay, it was built by
Kadish. The first small section where you enter and link into Ahnonay
proper is called the Cathedral.

The big round room you enter at the beginning is called Rolep. Later
on you make flying visits to Myst and K'veer, which is the place at the
very end of the original Myst.

I haven't grasped the names of the Ages yet. Is that the "Islands in the
Water" Age, or the "Just a long corrdor" Age or the "Big round room with a
clock thingy in it" Age?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ahnonnay is the name of the one with the same age/different times.

Ercanna has the train.

Some bugs are caused by Alt-tabbing out of the game, which I myself do quite
often. If you stop to look at a walkthrough or take and save a screenshot,
then alt-tab back in, you may lose your mouse functionality in the game (no
hotspot appears).

Consider that to avoid bugs.
